They say you are as old as you feel...
Today having finished my run I was walking back home to cool down. I met an old lady who looked clearly lost and she asked if I could help.
"Could you tell me the way to the polling station, I'm checking where it is so I know where to come on the day".
I told her. Then I reminded her that she needed to bring some ID this time.
She said she had a bus pass but no passport or driving license. I was not sure if a bus pass was OK so I suggested she should check.
"Who should I ask?, she said.
"Try online" said I.
"I don't do online"
"You could phone." I said.
"I'd rather speak face to face" she replied.
"I am 64" she added by way of explanation.
Anyway I looked online on my phone and confirmed her bus pass would be sufficient.
I wondered how this person managed in today's world.

FWIW she she she had always voted Tory but would not be doing so this time.
